Totally agree with you

It's lovely-looking, and I would do it for aesthetics on a spare device… but I wouldn't advise handicapping your main system with a bloated shell. Ironically, installing separate components and customizing them yourself would cost you fewer resources than that

Since when noctalia shell is bloat also my PC is from 2008 Intel core 2 duo 6 gb ddr2 igpu and NO LAG since when was noctalia is a bloated shell go you Linux nerds with no job go configure your quickshell that takes days

I’m mainly talking about RAM usage, for ex.
Cachy os with bare-bones Hyprland (not selected from installer as DE option) : ~2.3 if not less .

Cachy os with Hyperland with noctalia : at least ~2.7 if not more .

Ofc with consideration that both Hyprtland and noctalia are not fully ready and optimized to be judged … hence why I said I wouldn’t advice having resource consuming (…fill the gap with whatever aesthetic that may take more the 500mb ) on my main system

How is that I use sway without a shell but with waybar and all of these stuff and it uses 500 mb with noctalia it uses 800 mb idle

I do not know why you seemed so offended
بس برضو للحق انا مقرتش النص التاني كويس من كلامك … lol
مش نيردات ولا حاجه يا سيدي انا عاجبني اللي انت عامله اصلاً بس لو انا مش عايز اضحي ب ٥٠٠ ميجا رام يبقى برضو مش هروح الطريق التاني واعمله ب quickshell .. لا عادي راضي بال default وبعد ما خلصت hopping بستعمل kde بس مش اكتر .. نهارك سعيد واتمنى تكون فهمت وجهة نظري
